Divided We Fall is an exercise in grindcore excellence with some old school death metal influences. The album’s recording quality sounds like the band is smashing glass while screaming and growling over it. Excruciating Terror’s preference for blasts and speed take precedence over almost everything else. The result is old school destruction on savage, unforgiving levels. Pieces like “Don’t Care Who You Are”, “Just Another Victim” and “Without Mercy” are like a pound of semtex going off in your bathroom and leveling your city block. There’s only a pause here and there to kick up the tempo, if and when the band even give you that much breathing room.
